I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving(if you are in the US) and a nice and relaxingweekend afterwards. I didn't do anything specialfor Thanksgiving but I had a quite bit of funwith Black Friday deals at some local and onlineshops. I love bargains. I can't resist anything like20% off everything PLUS free shipping kinda thing.I bought lots of necessities at Joann like batting,threads, and interfacing, and snatched lots ofecospun felt from Fabric.com.

Speaking of felt, I have been really crazy aboutmaking things with felt these days. Making feltfood was one of the million things I've wanted totry out for a while. After sewing the popsicle block,I was feeling like making more yummy stuff, andI found myself spending hours browsing felt foodonline. Oh my goodness felt has such possibilities!The food in the picture is some typical stuff forJapanese bento box: rice balls with seaweed around them,fried shrimp, meat loaf, and lettuce. I made all theseusing this great tutorial by manimani mamagoto.I will make some eggs, brocolli, and other stuffto complete my bento set! yay!

The cool thing about these is this TINY size!This is such an easy, quick, andfrugal project. You can even do this whilelaying down in bed.(I did! lol) I have beenmaking these using standard acrylic feltand found that it makes too much mess.I did some research on felt and found thatecospun felt might be a better choice, soI can't wait to experiment with ecospun felt.

I bought this felt sweets last year for Joe'sniece Sarah's Christmas gift and was so pleasedwith how happy she was with them. She wants morenow. Maybe I will make some dessert for her this year.Handmade stuff is always better and they lookso easy to make! I am excited.. hehe!

Sooooooooo cute, specially i love the chocolate one very much...Can you please spare a little bit of your time for my new post, its something different I hope you enjoyedhttp://craftaworld.blogspot.com/LoveFarah

I am with you, I can't resist a nice discount and free shipping (and I also purchased something from Joann). However, I saved even more because I used eBates to make my online purchases. With Joann I had an additional 5% off (not really off, but that 5% will be refunded to me by check), and fabric.com gives you a 4% cash back :o) I have been using eBates for several years now, and every quarter I get a check. I have no affiliation to the site; I just love that I can save some extra $$$ :o)To sign up: http://tinyurl.com/3aaacgm
